Representation and advice at police station

Police Station Representation — Know Your Rights, Protect Your Future 

If you’ve been arrested or invited to attend a police station interview, it’s vital that you receive expert legal advice as early as possible. A police interview can be an intense and daunting experience, and without proper guidance, the consequences can be serious and far-reaching. 

At IMD Solicitors, we believe every individual has the right to be legally represented during any stage of a police investigation. Our multilingual, culturally diverse team has extensive experience advising clients during these critical early stages. We will attend the police station with you, safeguarding your rights and ensuring you receive clear, strategic advice tailored to your circumstances. Request a call back today.

Understanding Caution and Procedure 

If the police suspect you of a criminal offence, they may arrest and interview you under caution. This means the interview will be conducted in accordance with the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE). You will be read the formal police caution upon arrest and again before your interview begins. 

It is essential to have a solicitor present during any interview under caution. This ensures your legal rights are protected, any procedural errors are challenged, and you are not pressured into disclosing information that could be misinterpreted or used against you unfairly. 

What to Expect During Your Interview 

Before the interview starts, one of our experienced solicitors will consult with the police to obtain as much information as they are legally obliged to disclose about the allegations. We will then hold a private meeting with you to share that information and take your account of the facts. 

Based on this discussion, we will advise you on the most appropriate course of action — whether to provide a full account, remain silent, or offer a limited response. Our role is to ensure your voice is heard in a legally sound manner and that any facts you wish to rely on later are properly recorded during the interview. 

Once the interview begins, your solicitor will be with you throughout, monitoring the process and stepping in where necessary to protect your interests. 

What Happens If You’re Charged? 

If the police decide to charge you following the interview, we will advise you on next steps and provide robust representation in any future court proceedings. Our continuity of service means you are supported throughout the entire process, from initial arrest to trial — and beyond, if necessary. 

A Bespoke, Client-Centred Approach 

At IMD Solicitors, we do not undertake duty or legal aid work. Instead, we focus on delivering a bespoke, high-quality service that ensures each client receives dedicated attention, strategic advice, and representation tailored to their unique circumstances.
